Broken A Ranch

Broken A Ranch has invaded Missouri!

We are here and have the cutest property! The horses are thrilled with their new pasture and trees, the babies weaned with no problem and Wild Blue satellite internet is MUCH faster than I thought it would be (nearly as fast as DSL)

We had to leave some things behind.. there was JUST no more room in the truck.. the 26′ truck was stuffed to the rafters and my truck was packed without an inch to spare. My cousins were great with helping out and my friend Beth flew out from Mississippi to help me move and she was just amazing! She went way above and beyond the boundaries of friendship.. even when we had no power or water the first night she didn’t decide to kill me. There was a crew waiting for us when we arrived at 9pm after 2 very VERY long and exhausting days of loading and moving and had the truck unloaded and beds set up for us in 2 hours flat. The horse pasture is incredible and the fence they built for me is just amazing. I talked to the guy who did it and he is going to give me a quote on building a stallion turn out area as well.

La Plata is a super cute town and there is an AWESOME little Amish community here that you drive by to get to the new house.. Beth and I stopped by and had to sample Amish baked goods.. purely for educational purposes of course.. they were quick to tell us about free coffee and donut Saturdays.. and they also make that gorgeous furniture! There is a local winery and a CORN maze! Lots of people seem excited that a web designer is in town ..I have had some interest already so we will see how that goes. There is even a small airport that does twice a day shuttles from St. Louis for a reasonable price so visitation should be super easy. Beth flew out on it tonight and I was sad to see her go.

Tomorrow I am springing the dogs out of their mudroom prison and setting up their new kennel and then back to work I go! I already found a farrier and a new potential hay guy who is delivered last night. My neighbors and everyone seem to be incredibly nice and helpful.

Just wanted to let everyone know we arrived safely and LOVE it here so far.

Take care!
